The Jesuits: A Brief Introduction

Historic beginning of the Jesuits

As the Reformation of the sixteenth century began to triumph against the papacy, Rome summoned new forces, hoping to utterly destroy it. It was at this time that the order of the Jesuits was created. This military order proved to be the most cruel and powerful of all the champions of popery. Cut off from every earthly tie and human interest, dead to the claims of natural affection, reason, and conscience wholly silenced, they knew no rule, no tie, but that of their order, and no duty but to extend its power. The gospel of Yahushua had enabled its adherents to meet danger and endure suffering, undismayed by cold, hunger, toil, and poverty, to uphold the banner of truth in face of the rack, the dungeon, and the stake. To combat these forces, Jesuitism inspired its followers with a fanaticism that enabled them to endure like dangers, and to fight the power of truth with all the weapons of deception. There was no crime too great for them to commit, no deception too base for them to practice, no disguise too difficult for them to assume. Vowed to perpetual poverty and humility, it was their studied aim to secure wealth and power, to be devoted to the overthrow of Protestantism, and the re-establishment of the papal supremacy.

When appearing as members of their order, they wore a garb of sanctity, visiting prisons and hospitals, ministering to the sick and the poor, professing to have renounced the world, and bearing the name of Jesus, who went about doing good. But under this blameless exterior, the most criminal and deadly purposes were concealed. It was a fundamental principle of the order that the end justifies the means. By this code, lying, theft, perjury,assassination, were not only pardonable but commendable, when they served the interests of the church. Under various disguises the Jesuits worked their way into offices of State, climbing up to be the counselors of kings, and shaping the policy of nations. They became servants, to act as spies upon their masters. They established colleges for the sons of princes and nobles, and schools for the common people; and the children of Protestant parents were drawn into an observance of Roman Catholic rites. All the outward pomp and display of the Roman Catholic worship was brought to bear to confuse the mind, and dazzle and captivate the imagination; and thus the liberty for which the fathers had toiled and bled was betrayed by the sons. The Jesuits rapidly spread themselves over Europe, and wherever they went, there followed a revival of Catholicism.

To give them greater power, a bull was issued re-establishing the Inquisition. Notwithstanding the general abhorrence with which it was regarded, even in Catholic countries, this terrible tribunal was again set up by Catholic rulers, and atrocities too terrible to bear the light of day were repeated in its secret dungeons. In many countries, thousands upon thousands of the very flower of the nation, the purest and noblest, the most intellectual and highly educated, pious and devoted pastors, industrious and patriotic citizens, brilliant scholars, talented artists, skillful artisans, were slain, or forced to flee to other lands.

Excerpt from the Jesuit Oath:

"I do further promise and declare, that I will have no opinion or will of my own, or any mental reservation whatever, even as a corpse or cadaver (perinde ac cadaver), but will unhesitatingly obey each and every command that I may receive from my superiors in the Militia of the Pope and of Jesus Christ."

"That I may go to any part of the world withersoever I may be sent, to the frozen regions of the North, the burning sands of the desert of Africa, or the jungles of India, to the centers of civilization of Europe, or to the wild haunts of the barbarous savages of America, without murmuring or repining, and will be submissive in all things whatsoever communicated to me."

"I furthermore promise and declare that I will, when opportunity present, make and wage relentless war, secretly or openly, against all heretics, Protestants and Liberals, as I am directed to do, to extirpate and exterminate them from the face of the whole earth; and that I will spare neither age, sex or condition; and that I will hang, waste, boil, flay, strangle and bury alive these infamous heretics, rip up the stomachs and wombs of their women and crush their infants' heads against the walls, in order to annihilate forever their execrable race. That when the same cannot be done openly, I will secretly use the poisoned cup, the strangulating cord, the steel of the poniard or the leaden bullet, regardless of the honor, rank, dignity, or authority of the person or persons, whatever may be their condition in life, either public or private, as I at any time may be directed so to do by any agent of the Pope or Superior of the Brotherhood of the Holy Faith, of the Society of Jesus."

(Note: This very oath was taken by Antichrist Pope Francis, a sworn Jesuit.)

Wolves in Sheep's Clothing

The Jesuits were sanctioned in 1540 by Pope Paul III with one mandate: to defeat Protestantism and regain worldwide Papal rule.  To achieve this monumental task, they employ ever-adapting methods of pseudo-education, social programs, infiltration, and all wickedness that could possibly be conceived.  Needless to say, they are achieving great success in their mission, which is climaxing with the present pope, Pope Francis, who held some of the highest positions in Argentina, including Provincial Superior in the Society of Jesus and Archbishop of Buenos Aires.   He was made a cardinal by Pope John Paul II.

Over the last 400 years the Jesuits have succeeded in establishing the largest worldwide network of schools and universities.

These prominent schools and universities, have produced many well known alumni.  Thus, the Jesuits have been able to shape and mould the thinking of many famous world leaders, and produce generations of political and religious leaders who were favorable to the Roman Catholic Church, and her doctrinal agenda.

The renowned British preacher, Charles Haddon Spurgeon, when referring to the church ministers that graduate from these universities said that “… they keep back a portion of the gospel … having studied in the devil’s new Jesuitical college.” (Source: Charles H.  Spurgeon “A Solemn Warning for All Churches,” Sermon No.  68)

Jesuits sit at the top of the pyramid of secret societies:

“There are still …[men and women] about the country, who will tell you, with grim gravity that, if you trace up Masonry, through all its Orders, till you come to the grand tip-top, head Mason of the world, you will discover that the dread individual and the Chief of the Society of Jesus are one and the same person!” (Source: James Parton, 1855, American Historian, The Black Pope, M.F.  Cusack, London: Marshall, Russell & Co., 1896, p.  76.)

Given the above historic facts about the Jesuits, it is incredulous and most shocking to see the media and the world’s religious and political leaders stampeding to endorse and praise Jesuit Pope Francis.  We have no words to describe this unprecedented worldwide epidemic of memory loss towards Rome and her Jesuits.

The prescient warning of General Sherman is most appropriate to quote today:

“I would remind you of Webster’s definition of a Jesuit: a designer, an intriguer.  If the Church of Rome prevailed, the Pope would be the Universal King .  .  .  The Jesuits are here to plot and scheme and, if possible, take from us the noble heritage of our civil and religious freedom.  The rules of the Jesuit Order justify theft, licentiousness, lying, false-witness bearing, suicide and the murder of parents and other relatives.  The greatest crimes in history committed against individuals and nations have been committed by the Jesuits .  .  .  Wherever Jesuits are they have the torch to burn, the sword to slay, the inquisition to torture.  They are the enemies of [Bible-believing] Christianity.  They live for conquest, fortune and glory.” (Source: General Sherman’s Son: The Life of Thomas Ewing Sherman, S.J., Joseph T.  Durkin, S.  J., New York: Farrar, Straus and Cudahy, 1959, p.  186.)

It is our duty as followers of Yahuwah to expose Rome and her Jesuits, and to pray for the utter destruction of their evil deceit.  Prayer is the only weapon we have against this veiled enemy we face today.  Rome and her Jesuits are the greatest enemy of the Gospel and of humanity.  However, we are assured in His prophetic Word that they will not prevail.  The Harlot will be utterly destroyed prior to the Return of Yahushua:

“And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.” Revelation 17:16.
